IT BEGINS THE MOMENT YOU STEP THROUGH THE DOORS OF CAMPBELL HOUSE

A kind and reassuring voice welcomes you, a warm cup of tea is offered, and you're gently invited to sit and decompress in the living room. At Hospice Georgian Triangle, we understand that arriving here is often filled with emotion and uncertainty. That's why our first priority is to help you feel cared for, comforted and safe.

Families often tell us that it's the little things that make the biggest difference. One patient recently shared how much she cherished the spa tub. How it made her feel safe, free, and as if she were floating effortlessly. Though she could no longer walk, she found joy and dignity in those quiet, pampered moments. Afterwards, she would return to her room, where she found peace watching the birds flutter around the feeder outside her window.

It's these moments of comfort and calm that define the Hospice Georgian Triangle experience.

We're proud to share this year's Impact Report. A reflection of the compassionate care made possible by your generosity. Whether at Campbell House or through our community-based programs, your support ensures patients and families receive the comfort, dignity, and connection they deserve, when it matters most.

Thank you for being part of this important work.

It's the little things

Hospice is a very worthy cause. I enjoy building the birdfeeders, and I know that in their final days the patients enjoy watching the birds, that is what it is really all about.

MESSAGE FROM LEADERSHIP

PEGGY WHITE & TRISH RAWN

Dear Friends,

This year, Hospice Georgian Triangle continued to provide compassionate care to individuals and families navigating life-limiting illness, grief, and loss across South Georgian Bay. Through our programs, we supported: 302 individuals at Campbell House, 1,721 in community programs, and 3,080 client visits in the community. This represents an approximate 35% increase in the services provided from the previous year. Our team worked tirelessly to meet rising demand and ensure that every person in need was treated with dignity and compassion, free of charge.

In partnership with the Collingwood General & Marine Hospital and the South Georgian Bay Ontario Health Team, we launched the Compassionate Communities - Palliative Care Resource Initiative, a transformative program that is improving access to palliative care and ensuring patients receive support wherever they are.

From reducing emergency department visits to sharing clinical care resources, this initiative is helping us build a more responsive and integrated system of care.

Innovations like the Hospice Community Clinical Coach are strengthening care, quality and mentorship across our region. In addition, through a partnership with Simcoe County Paramedics, 19 individuals who already had a referral to Campbell House were able to be directly admitted after calling 911. This innovative project ensures people receive the right care, in the right place, at the right time, while avoiding unnecessary trips to the emergency department.

What makes all of this possible is our truly remarkable team-over 60 dedicated staff members and 120 volunteers-who bring skill, compassion, and heart to every interaction. Whether at the bedside, behind the scenes, or in the community, their work embodies the values that define Hospice Georgian Triangle. We are proud of all that has been accomplished and deeply grateful to our supporters who walk alongside us in creating a more compassionate future for all.

Warmly,

With your ongoing support and shared vision, we are building a future where no one faces end-of-life alone - a future rooted in compassion, dignity, and hope.

SPREADING OUR WINGS: INTRODUCING THE NEW HOSPICE GEORGIAN TRIANGLE LOGO

New Hospice Georgian Triangle Logo

There's a fresh new face on the block-well, not a face exactly... more like wings! We're thrilled to unveil the new logo for Hospice Georgian Triangle and Hospice Georgian Triangle Foundation, a vibrant and meaningful reflection of who we are, how we serve, and where we're headed.

WHY THE CHANGE?

Our previous logo served us well for many years, but as we grow and evolve, so too must our visual identity. This update wasn't just about aesthetics-it was about accessibility and inclusivity. The new design is compliant with the Accessibility for Ontarians with Disabilities Act, passed in 2005 by the Government of Ontario. This means it is easier for everyone to interact with our brand-whether they're reading a brochure, visiting our website, or spotting our sign from across the street. Hospice is for everyone. Our logo should be too.

This wasn't a decision made in isolation. Our journey to this new look included months of collaboration, feedback, and creativity. Board members, staff, volunteers, donors, and community members all had a seat at the table.

And we're proud to say: this logo is the result of many hearts and minds working together.

The next time you see that graceful bird in flight, please know that it represents love, dignity, and a community coming together.

We're soaring into the future-and this journey together.

WHERE COMPASSION TAKES FLIGHT

Birds have always been symbols of hope, peace, and transition. Three things that resonate deeply with our work in hospice palliative care. Our bird in flight represents the journey of life, the importance of freedom and dignity at end-of-life, and the support that gently carries individuals and families through life's most profound moments.

It's not just a logo-it's a message in motion.

2025 YEAR OF CARE

COMPASSIONATE COMMUNITIES INITIATIVE
MEET OUR PALLIATIVE CARE RESOURCE NURSE, ALANNA ROYLANCE

Meet Alanna Roylance, RN, BScN, CHPCN(C). Alanna is the Palliative Care Resource Nurse with Hospice Georgian Triangle. She works out of the Collingwood General and Marine Hospital, helping patients and families access timely resources for hospice palliative care, as they transition through hospital care, to the next best place, whether at home or at hospice.

Alanna's work demonstrates the profound impact of palliative care through collaborative interventions, patient-centered planning, and continuity of support from hospital to home or hospice.

She shares powerful examples of helping isolated or critically ill patients improve their quality of life, transition smoothly to hospice, or even enter remission. Her approach is deeply rooted in listening to patients' values, helping them regain a sense of autonomy, and normalizing the end-of-life experience.

Alanna advocates for broader awareness that palliative care isn't just for the dying-it helps anyone with a life-limiting illness live more fully and with dignity.

A STORY OF HOPE, COMPASSION, AND RESILIENCE

Alanna shared the impact of the program for one of her patients. A 65-year-old single mother was facing one of life's most difficult journeys alone. With no extended family, no access to a vehicle, and only her adult daughter by her side, her world had become small, isolated, and overwhelming. On top of that, she had just been diagnosed with an aggressive, life-limiting cancer.

Without a strong support system or access to affordable transportation, even the simplest appointments or errands became daunting challenges. But what weighed heaviest was the emotional toll-the fear, uncertainty, and grief that comes with such a diagnosis.

THAT'S WHERE ALANNA STEPPED IN

With unwavering compassion, Alanna not only helped manage her physical symptoms but also cared for her emotional wellbeing. She ensured her patient wasn't navigating this journey alone. She connected her with a palliative care nurse practitioner, arranged in-home care supports, referred her to the ShareCare program, and made sure she received proper counseling services.

Because of this circle of care and the strength and courage of this patient, something extraordinary happened.

She outlived her original prognosis. Today, she is in remission.

While she still faces the daily challenges of medication side effects, she is living proof of the power of compassionate care and of what happens when someone doesn't have to face illness alone.

MANY GAMES OF SCRABBLE
IT'S THE LITTLE THINGS

When Barb first responded to a request to visit a patient in Stayner who "loved to play Scrabble," she didn't know she was about to embark on a year-and-a-half-long journey of quiet companionship, laughter, and deep human connection. Each Tuesday, Barb would sit with Linda at her kitchen table and engage in a friendly game of Scrabble, sometimes joined by family members, often simply the two of them, letter tiles clicking and stories flowing. The visits were simple, consistent, and filled with care. "But you're the only person who comes to see me outside of family," Linda once said, when Barb suggested scaling back their visits. So Barb stayed.

As Linda's condition progressed, Barb continued to visit, eventually joining her at a second home where she received care from her other daughter. Even as Linda became bedridden, Barb remained a steady presence, a comforting constant in a time of uncertainty. On their last Tuesday together, just days before Linda's passing, they played one final game of Scrabble. Linda passed away the following Tuesday, just minutes before noon-the exact time Barb had visited every week.

For Barb, a retired therapist and dedicated hospice volunteer, this was never about therapy-it was about showing up. "I'm not doing therapy; I'm just a visitor," she says humbly. But her presence brought far more than that. Her bond with Linda extended to Linda's family, and even after her passing, Barb continues to support Linda's daughter, Allison, who now sees Barb for grief support. In this way, the impact of Barb's visits ripples outward-touching not just one life, but many.

At Hospice Georgian Triangle, it truly is the little things. Barb's story is a beautiful example of the quiet, lasting impact that compassionate, community-based care can offer. Her weekly visits weren't about grand gestures. They were about being present. And in the end, that's what mattered most.

CARE IN THE COMMUNITY

This was an incredibly busy year for Hospice Georgian Triangle's community care team. Throughout the year, our community benefitted from their compassionate care in the following ways:

  • 302 individuals and families cared for at Campbell House
  • 3,080 total visits by our community care team (38% increase from last year)
  • 1,721 people provided with grief and bereavement support (40% increase)
  • 1,668 participants in 308 sessions of group programming (9% increase)
  • 217 children and youth participated in individual counseling sessions for grief and bereavement (64% increase) in 139 face-to-face and 104 virtual visits
  • A 38% increase in referrals for support from the community team
  • 12,877 hours worked by volunteers over the past year

Hospice Georgian Triangle provides programming for children and youth and special groups including loss by suicide, substance-related death, and spousal loss.

All programs and services are offered at no cost to patients and families thanks to the generous support of our funding partners and donors.

LIGHTS OF LOVE: A MOMENT OF REFLECTION & GRATITUDE

The Lights of Love ceremony, held just before the holidays, offered a moving opportunity to honour loved ones and reflect on the heart of hospice care. As names were read and memories shared, the emotional response from families in the audience underscored the profound impact of the work being done at Hospice Georgian Triangle.

It was a powerful reminder of Hospice Georgian Triangle's commitment-not only to individual patients and families, but to the wellbeing of the entire community. The event also served as a celebration of the dedication and compassion shown by the entire Hospice team.

JUNE CALLWOOD CIRCLE OF OUTSTANDING VOLUNTEERS AWARDED TO LORIE RING

Presented by Hospice Palliative Care Ontario, this provincial recognition celebrates exceptional individuals who have made a lasting impact on hospice palliative care in Ontario. For those who know Lorie, this award comes as no surprise-her warmth, generosity, and unwavering commitment to our patients and families are felt deeply across our organization.

Lorie has volunteered with Hospice Georgian Triangle for more than 15 years, offering her time, talents, and heart in countless ways. Lorie comforts patients at Campbell House, to support families through their grief, and lend a helping hand at countless community events.

MYKE DYER HONOURED WITH LIFE AND DEATH MATTERS PSW AWARD

We are so proud that Myke Dyer was honoured with Life and Death Matters PSW Award, a provincial honour that recognizes exceptional care in hospice palliative work. The award, presented in memory of Frances Montgomery, acknowledges the vital role Personal Support Workers play in providing compassionate, person-centered end-of-life care.

Myke embodies the spirit of this award through his unwavering compassion, professionalism, and dedication to person-centered care. His ability to provide comfort and dignity to individuals in their final days, while also supporting their loved ones, reflects the very heart of hospice care.

One colleague shared: "Myke has an air of peaceful calm and a quiet, unassuming confidence. His steady voice lets you know that everything will be alright, regardless of the circumstance."

Beyond his confidence and skill, Myke intuitively understands patients' emotional states, stepping in with gentle reassurance, soothing music, or quiet support when it's needed most.

Myke's empathy, advocacy, and commitment make him a truly deserving recipient. Thank you, Myke, for being a true example of hospice heart.

Hospice Georgian Triangle is proud to carry forward the work of the Living Wish Foundation through our new Living Wish Program, launched this year.

Now operating under Hospice Georgian Triangle, the program will continue to help patients and families create lasting memories-whether it's one more visit to the cottage, a family reunion, or a shared moment over a favourite treat.

The Living Wish Foundation was co-founded by Dr. Alyssa Boyd, Medical Director of Hospice Georgian Triangle, and Registered Nurses, Lisa Wright, and Nancy Good-Kennedy. Their vision, along with the support of our generous community, ensures this heartfelt work will continue for years to come.

ONE WISH, ONE LASTING MEMORY

Recently, the Living Wish team at Hospice Georgian Triangle supported a father hoping to leave a tangible keepsake for his daughters after their mother's passing. Thanks to Jim Harrison of Harrison Denture Clinic, the girls each received a plaster mold of their hands clasped with their mother's-lasting symbols of love and connection that touched all of us at Campbell House.
